degraded soils in northwest china are mostly nonproductive due to imbalanced nutrient and inadequate water supply. the effects of manure application at three different rates (7.5, 15.0, and 22.5 t ha–1) combined with chemical fertilizers on soil water and water-use efficiency in maize [compared with chemical fertilizers (control)], under semi-arid conditions in dark loessial soil and over a per...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen and zinc combination on grain yield and its component in maize by path analysis. this experiment was carried out through split plot based on rcbd, varieties as main plot and fertilizers as sub plot, with three replication at badjgah (experimental farm of shiraz university). nitrogen fertilizer in (120,260 and 400 kg/ha) an...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Experiments have shown that biotrophic fungi divert assimilates for their growth. However, no attempt has been made either to account for this additional sink or to predict to what extent it competes with both grain filling and plant reserve metabolism for carbon. Fungal sink competitiveness with grains was quantified by a mixed experimental-modelling approach based on winte...

Wheat grain end-use value is determined by complex molecular interactions that occur during grain development, including those in the cell nucleus. However, our knowledge of how the nuclear proteome changes during grain development is limited. Here, we analyzed nuclear proteins of developing wheat grains collected during the cellularization, effective grain-filling, and maturation phases of dev...

in order to study planting date impacts and ending season drought stress  on grain yield and  gaining weight  rate  and wheat filling period characteristics in new advanced bread wheat genotypes ,this research  is done by using plan statistical  of spilt plot  in form of complete random blocks basic  plot with 3 replications in both common separated irrigation  and ending season drought  stress...

abstract in order to investigate the effects of different irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of three chickpea cultivars, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at mashhad. six irrigation regimes including i1= full irrigation, i2= irrigation at branching, i3= irrigation at flowering, i4= irrigation at pod formation, i5= irrigation at seed filling stage, and i6=...
